It’s that time of the year again – spring training. And that means it’s time for that annual road trip to Florida to watch an exhibition game or two (or three) for those can’t wait for the regular season to start.

For those not in the know, Florida is home to the Grapefruit League, which consist of 15 teams that include the Atlanta Braves, the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. During March, fans (and those who travel with them) can take in a game in a more relaxed, less crowded and more importantly, affordable, setting.

Good news is there basically a game every day, so there really isn’t a bad time to go. The games run through March 28. The majority of them start at 1:05 p.m., with a few that have times of 1:10 p.m., 6:05 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. Always check your teams schedule, but do be aware that things can change.

How Much Does it Cost

Prices depend on the game and varies for each team. Cost for baseline/lawn/bleachers/bern can range anywhere from $6 up to $20. Also be aware that some places charge for parking as well. Expect to pay between $5 to $10.
